While I don't own them yet myself, the Quick 16 and Speedload are probably good due to how they load. There's apparently a slot on the side you just stick darts into. Should be good for quick reloading.

I am still really tempted by the Quick 16, Swarmfire, and Speedload 6, but I'm determined to wait it out. I'm sure if I wait long enough Nerf will release versions with bonus darts, scopes, or stocks that would be a better value for my money. Let's face it, they ALWAYS do that.

Well I just packed up my Nerf N-strike for storage. What a great line, I had more fun making weapon combinations with all the accessories than I did shooting them.

Nothing from vortex is appealing to me. I don't like disc shooters. I did get a chance to handle one of the discs though, not a typical foam disc. they are like a plastic bottle cap with 1/4 inch foam coating. The bottom is exposed plastic.

This is the Recon CS6 Pistol with just the Raider Drum Magazine

Recon pistol with Raider stock, drum magazine and light.

Longshot with Recon barrel extension and light, Raider drum magazine.
*i put the drum mag in the stock just to see if it would fit and it did. it stays put!*

The Raider drum mag looks neato on this, too, but it is bulky/awkward. The drum mag (to me) is just a great tool for holding a position.

You should think about picking up the Target exclusive Alpha Trooper. Besides not being a bad gun, it's got a "18 dart drum" (Though it was made to hold 20, for whatever reason, perhaps thinking CS-18 sounds cooler then CS-20), that's smaller and easier to wield, but still gives you the equivalent of 3+ clips in one.

Hi, I don't know if you remember, but I was making a case for my Nerf guns, which I started... well ages ago.

Remember this?

Anyway, it's been sitting under the bed since while I wait 'for better weather' so I could go out and sand and do otherwise outdoorsy DIY. What held me up was the fact I was using a power sander, and it was taking me AGES to make any sort of impression on the case.

However... yesterday was a sunny day... and this time I dumped the power sander and used sandpaper and sanding blocks instead, which took me a fraction of the time.

Corners were rounded off, holes were made for the corners, the corners were then fitted and edge trim was put on. Today my wife has painted the sides, but now we have a dilemma.

I think I would prefer an all matte black case. She thinks the pine looks good. The choice is either all black, or keep the wood as it and varnish it...

FYI, I just picked up the new N-Force Vendetta double-bladed sword (think Darth Maul) from Target for $20. I didn't even remember that this thing existed and I must say that for a bludgeoning weapon it is freaking amazing.

I lucked out BIG time about 2 or 3 weeks ago at a neighbors yard sale. I got a 100% complete and working Vulcan for $10. The next day I nabbed 3 belt ammo packs at TRU on sale for $5.99 each. I made my self a 75 round belt that stores perfectly in a Browning .30cal ammo can, and kept a back-up 25 for the stock ammo box.
